The grooviest zombie biker movie of them all is being exhumed
and, after years of shoddy bootlegs and sub-par presentations, is
getting the Special Edition treatment from Severin. Psychomaniastars
Beryl Reed (Beast In The Cellar) and, in his last performance,
George Sanders (Village Of The Damned) who perfect a formula to
return from the grave via some sort of satanic toad worship. Said
formula is then used by young Tommy and his biker gang, The Living Dead,
who after offing themselves in a variety of creative ways, free-wheel
back from the dead to wreak havoc on a small English town. This
uber-black British horror-comedy (which has one of the greatest and most
original soundtracks of its era) was a staple of late night TV for
years but has never been seen like this thanks to a stunning new high
definition transfer. Recent interviews were shot in London with stars
Nicky Henson, Mary Larkin, Denis Gilmore, Roy Holder and Rocky Taylor,
while soundtrack composer John Cameron (Kes, Jack The Ripper)
and âRiding Freeâ crooner Harvey Andrews not only reminisced but
treated us to renditions of their otherworldly work on the film. Also on
the extras slate is an intro from Fangoria editor in chief Chris
Alexander. This will be yet another amazing Severin restoration that any
fan of 70s horror should not be without. Coming soon in October!
